JamBase: It's so bold and it stands on its own two legs. It's so in-your-face, right from the cover.

Ted Nugent

Nugent: Well, I provided the in-your-face but Cliff Davies on drums, Rob Grange on bass and definitely David St. Holmes on guitar and vocals were the electricity. They were the virtuosos that provided the fist to my music. They, like all the musicians I've been incalculably fortunate enough to work with, were world class, top one-percent EVER of rhythm sections any guitarist could be lucky enough to play with. That's why my music is unstoppable, because of the musicians that came up with me.

JamBase: I love the heaviness of your music. Maybe only AC/DC has been so consistently hard all the time.

Nugent: I capitalize on the pummel factor of the rhythm section, on what Bo Diddley created [breaks into Diddley's iconic beat]. You want to get naked around the campfire and start throwing spears at people, which, by the way, I do [laughs]. Tonight in Bakersfield I'm sure someone will get shafted. That is the original unification of a musical rhythm. It's ubiquitous in all our favorite music. Maybe the guys in Metallica couldn't express it the way I just did but they musically articulate it like champions. Music from AC/DC to the Stones and Beatles to The Yardbirds and Aerosmith, Cheap Trick and Sammy Hagar, all our favorite bands, that is the rhythm section funk brother guidance that we all pay homage to in our music. I do it better than all of them because I muff the strings with my right hand, and there's a combination of flagrant ringing and variations of muffing to my playing personified by the "Stranglehold" intro or the "Love Grenade" intro or throughout "Motor City Madhouse." The rwrrr, rwrrr is as blaring as God has ever allowed.

You do have fantastic intros to most of your songs. Like AC/DC, before the first lyric it's a sound that makes your dick hard.

I would hope so. That's why the purple nerve endings are exposed. Pull 'er back and let 'er go! I think what AC/DC personifies is their origins in Howlin' Wolf and Lightnin' Hopkins and Mose Allison, and then electrified supremely by Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry, and then carried on through experimentation by a bunch of Caucasian idiots like me and Angus Young. We discovered that power chords can be articulated into passages not unlike Chuck but with entire chords instead of single notes. The bottom line is nothing is sacred except the rhythm.

Ted Nugent

I gotta tell you, a band that's basically politically retarded, Green Day, also continue that pounding, pummeling authenticity. They are three of the finest musicians that can go shoulder-to-shoulder with the greatest. Their music has a tribal, primal grind to it that you can close your eyes to and pretend they aren't little white brats. As much as I laugh at the naivety of their politics, their cluelessness, their music is just robust and awesome. I'm just genuinely moved by it. The same thing, too, with the [Red Hot] Chili Peppers. They are world class virtuosos that combine the grind and the rhythm in a way I really admire.

JamBase: What is it about Detroit? Why do so many tough, enduring rock bands come from there? The Stooges, MC5, Bob Seger, Kid Rock, Grand Funk Railroad...

...Jack White, even Eminem, The Romantics. There is an authority that comes from Detroit that I'm going to rest solidly in the hands of Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels. They showed us how and I wish more people would give them credit. If you listen to "Jenny Take A Ride," "Shake A Tail Feather" or "Good Golly, Miss Molly," my God, man! They defined everything from then to now about what rock 'n' roll is supposed to be – black soulfulness, incredible tightness from dedication to practice and a work ethic, a vision conveying defiance, piss 'n' vinegar and high energy celebration without losing the grip of the black inspiration.

Firm In All Regards

"My critics are the wind beneath my wings because I know that I'm doing good. I know I'm working hard and that I'm in the asset column. Everybody I know is. I don't know anybody who collects a welfare check. I've never MET anyone who collects a welfare check. I don't know anybody who expects a handout. So, I just glow. I have to stop sometimes to just adjust my fucking halo," chuckles Nugent. "I just play my music and tour and do my charity work and speaking engagements and TV shows. I just do what I do. The Michael Moores just find me. I have never gone out of my way to confront, combat or take on an issue. They find me. When they come to get me instead of running away I walk towards them."

"I don't need adulation and I don't give ANY credibility to celebrity whatsoever but there's a genuine, affectionate and very spiritual connection like I had with that fat Hispanic kid. He knows in his heart that he should say what's on his mind, that he should stand up, but he's scared to death of the repercussions. I am not, and my critics are scared to death. I said to a guy the other day who told me they have a real coyote problem in Los Angeles, I said, 'That's weird. You must have asked for it because I don't have a coyote problem where I live. The coyotes have a Ted problem!' You're supposed to be in charge, not the fucking varmints. You can take that literally or figuratively, and I do! I don't look for problems but I do the best I can and sometimes I get kicked in the teeth for it. I give the world the best I got anyway."

Ted Nugent is on the road now (dates available here) and recently released a live DVD/concert album entitled Sweden Rocks on the heels of last year's saucy studio offering, Love Grenade. The man stays busy and will probably be cooking up some caribou in your backyard soon. That is, if you invite him over to do so...

Here's the Nuge on a recent episode of Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations, where Nugent barbecues, offers freshly roasted kernels of wisdom and ammo reloads.

Ted Nugent has said some stupid shit about Jerry Garcia, most of it very negative and very far from the truth. I really wish he would keep his mouth shut because stupidity often comes from it. Gives Detroit a bad name.

I loves me some old Nuge, but Ted is just way to full of himself. Dude, haven't you learned that tree huggers get way more pussy than rifle toting rednecks? You should try being a conservationist and standing for something other than your god-given right to be a selfish American individual. Still...gotta love the abuse of that hollowbody...The world needs that, so thanks for your contribution, Ted. Long live the Great White Buffalo!!

EXCELLENT interview though i don't imagine it was too difficult considering the subject. Can't say i agree with everything Ted Nugent says, but this is America after all. The guy can play too, but I don't think I'm about to go rock out to some Nugent any time soon. Too busy gearing up for My Morning Jacket at Red Rocks next week. I would appreciate a review on that one. Keep up the good work, Jambase!

Good ole' jambase. This is gotta be the worst piece of trash I have read on here. Ted Nugent is a laughable musician at best, and happens to be one of the most ignorant, racist, sexist, etc...... As if this site hasn't sucked enough lately you had to dump one more load of crap off. Ted Nugent is a piece of shit. Jambase, thanks for dumping on me.

The best part of the comments for this piece is the, uh, "enlightened" and "thoughtful" things some people are posting speak to the heart of Ted's philosophy. We celebrate freedom of speech here at JamBase every day. We offer multiple options of what to read or NOT, and the choice - yes, it's a choice YOU are making - is the individual's own. Now, please, by all means, continue apace, folks...

"I've never said anybody else has to! I've never said you have to defend yourself. I think it's sinful to NOT defend yourself"

From what? Does he live on the set of Escape From new York or Warriors? That's the thing I don;t get about gun nuts. Thy think that everyone is out o get them.

And the bit about welfare whores etc... Unemployment/welfare makes up less than 13% of our budget while servicing debt is 8.4%!!! Entitlement programs are over 33%!!! And this chart does not include special spending on the war. People have fucked up priorities.

Ted Nugent is a racist redneck idiot who happens to also be a mediocre musician. Dennis Cook you are truly lame for doing this interview. What a waste of time. What I found most disturbing is how you kiss Ted's ass about how great some of his albums are. He is a footnote in rock, who has made more of a career out of being a redneck xenophobic weirdo...I had to comment, because there is plenty of space to cover this, but NOT ONE MENTION OF THE SECRET CHIEFS 3 AT 10000 LAKES? Get a life and get some authentic journalists

Ted Nugent is a jingoistic, pompous windbag, but the man can play. Very little of his music has a political bent to it, it just rocks. You don't have to like the man to like his music. I have many conservative friends who are too quick to dismiss awesome music (Franti, Springsteen, even the Dixie Chicks) because of the political beliefs of the artists making the music. Nugent's music rocks.

I dont really like Nugent but he represents freedom of speech. Kids today are sissified, politically correct robots. When I yell out shit like "smoke a joint for Jesus, or lick a pussy for Buddha", I know it offends some sensitive people, but hey that's my right in America. Love it or leave it. The first amendment does not specify what beliefs you can talk about.

Are you guys bashing a rock star for having an ego?(oxymoron?) Ted has made some great music over the years and I see only a comment or two praising his music in this whole message board. I thought this site was a place to discuss music, not a place to bash on people who wouldn't fit in with your heady scene. Fighting for and openly talking about our constitutional rights are pretty damned admirable traits in my book, so keep doin' what you do ted. Nice work dennis

I guess when 70% of high school seniors dont believe in your rights of freedom of expression (that they SHOULD be limited) we should expect what we get as a people. Come to the RNC in Minneapolis and let out your frustrations/blockade some streets/acid etch some windows/fight the authorities/ good times really!

Very nice article and the Bourdain video was even better as it shows rather than tells what the Nuge is all about. I have never been much a fan, that said some of the comments suggest a sort of mental tropism rather than the ability for many Jambase readers to think with open minds. For people who ostensibly pride themselves on open-mindedness, their comments belie the sincerity of their compassion and human intelligence. Mindlessly proscribing against someone who doesn't agree lock-step with one's own ideology is as fascist as it gets. Great job, people!

What? I absolutley deny this, Nugent is a joke and a mediocre guitar player. He's a frequent guest on the Denver area morning radio show "lewis and floorwax" (who are also racist morons) and you wouldn't beleive some of the crap that spews from his mouth. "The Nuge" couldn't hold Jerry's dick.

Whether or not you agree with the man's politics (And I personally don't), you have to respect his contribution to music and the fact that the man is intelligent and stands behind his beliefs 110%. DOUBLE LIVE GONZO is easily one of the Top 5 Live Rock Albums of all time if not Top 3, in my opinion. Even after 30 some years, when I hear the beginning of "Stranglehold" I still get chills. The man and his music still stand out in my mind as some of the most definitive records of my youth. And please. Ted Nugent has turned away more pussy than any tree hugger on this planet.

ok, enough ted bashing lets talk about his music. most artists evolve who have such long careers. think miles,the dead, hell even the stones took some left turns. in all honesty ted's music is the same as his 1975 first album. in addition he or the interviewer gave credit to a david st. holmes. part of his success was derek st. holmes on his first couple of albums. great singer/guitarist oft overlooked. hell he even hired meatloaf on his free for all album. his lyrics/chord progressions are quite sophomoric at best and i find it quite ironic that a guy who's strongsuit is his verbal schtick had to rely on a singer on his most succesful albums

It was Derek St. Holmes, not David. Ted Nugent was one of my first concert experiences. Had no idea who he was. His first album had just come out and he was the opening act for some other band who is not around anymore. The lights went down and Ted comes flying over his Marshall stack, sliding to the edge of the stage, cranking out the opening chords to Stormtroopers. I was awestruck. I had never seen anything like this in my life. In my opinion, he was amazing then. I have seen him countless times over the years and the only thing that really gets old is his constant jabbering about his politics. For this reason alone, I would never pay to see him again. Same reason I would never see U2 again. Anyway...More power to him for using his right to free speech. Oh yeah, by the way, Stranglehold is a great groove for fucking. If you don't believe me, just ask my wife!

Thank you hurricane, tinshoe, and sunnbear. Oh by the way the "And please. Ted Nugent has turned away more pussy than any tree hugger on this planet." comment rings more truth than anything in this thread!!! (complements King Rhino)

FUCK JAMBASE......Ted Nugent represents everything wrong with our society. This douchebag is filled with hate. Ted dodged the draft in the 60's, yet he supports this war.....and has used poor racial/gender remarks when refering to Barack and Hilliary. So once again FUCK YOU JAMBASE and TED NUGENT FOR EXPOSING US TO THIS BULLSHIT.

Dennis, I think you are perhaps the best JamBase writer, but this was more of a coronation for Ted than an interview. I think either your affection/nostalgia for his music or sheer intimidation got in the way of objectivity.

I consider Ted Nugent a business entity rather than a musical one, even of he can play. Same deal as Jimmy Buffet- keep the gravy train on the tracks.

The more I think about it, the more the pure nostalgia angle makes sense; all of us have recordings we grew up with that evoke strong and usually pleasant memories of childhood or formative years. But "..One of the top 3 live albums ever?" Seriously? So, better, say, than Miles Davis at the Plugged Nickel, Live Dead, Old & In The Way, Allman Bros. at Fillmore East, Stones, Santana, Zappa, Phish, add another few hundred recordings here...I suppose ultimately the best live recording is the one you simply enjoy the most- to each his/her own, but 'Nuge? I dunno, man. Let's hear some favorites.

So let me get this straight, becuase of the fact that I have enough musical taste to realize that Ted Nugent is a clown, it follows that I enjoy Maroon 5 and Britney Spears? I don't get that. On the other hand, you apparently like not only the Nuge, but Meatloaf as well. Based on that, I think it'd be more likely to find the cheesey stuff in your collection bud, not mine. And if you knew me, you would never call me cupcake to my face, way to talk smack over the internets.

waker? Lighten up, Francis. You have my font trembling. At 6'4", 250 pounds and having served 10 years in the USMC, any time you wanna step up ... Lemme know when and where. As I said I consider DOUBLE LIVE GONZO as one of the TOP 5 Live Albums in MY OPINION. MY OPINION, 'k? And as far as my music collection goes? Guess what? You'll find Maroon 5 and Britney Spears in there. Of course, they are mixed into a collection that goes back over 30 years and at this point fills most of my garage, my office and the spare room. Not being lactose intolerant musically occasionally I have a craving for a little ear cheese. I will be the first person to scream out at a Ted Nugent concert "For God's sake shut the Hell up and just PLAY!!!" ... Because you may not agree with someone's opinions or beliefs does not necessarily make them a "clown". Like Ted or not, the man stands behind his convictions and this country and nowadays that is hard to find. And, oh yes? Before some of you blow a synapse as to why Ted was covered on jamBase ... I suggest you look at this way: The entire "jam band" scene most probably could have never come about if it were not for the dreaded GUITAR SOLO. So, to be honest? There is not that great a difference between the 8 minute guitar solo in "Stranglehold" and almost any of the stretched out versions of songs jam bands play today. Namaste'

I saw the nuge what i was in high school about 21 years ago, at the time i thought the dude rocked and was a guitar god, the live show cured me of that fallicy. All I can say is the asshole is entitled to his opnions but as a musician, during a live perfomance he totally fucking sucked. Wang bang sweet putang my crotch ted!

Ok Ok, settle down, soldier. Not interested in "stepping up" to some guy on the internets, (don't even know what that means)that was kinda my point, Sergeant Slaughter. That list was a response to breadloaf's post,"Let's hear some favorites" it's my opinion.

Objectivity in music writing is complete bunk. Really. It's all subjective and we follow our passions where they lead. Like my recent Journey feature, my affection for Ted's music is sincere. Sure, there's plenty of other stuff closer to my heart & life but I love engaging veterans and picking their brains. I hope there's some folks on JamBase who appreciate the same thing. I might have laid it on a little thick but he brings it out in a person. He's a living exclamation point and it's easy to start speaking in that punctuation when one is around him.

I don't like Nuggent because he is not an environmentalist, he is not a vegetarian, he does not go to politcal rallies to help Darfur, he drives a car that runs on gasoline and is killing the world we live in, he does not respect the beleifs of only people that are radical liberals or people from foreign countries, he does not believe in the government controlling every aspect of our lives in order to make sure things are fair for everyone, he does not believe reverse-discrimination is the solution for racism... and the list just keeps on going. Come on Nuge, get with it already. cough cough

ahaaaa! Rhino listens to Britney Spears! aa haaa! dude, rhino, there is a difference between having a diverse, extensive music collection and having one that contains Britney Spears. you can pride yourself on keeping an open mind, but in the end, YOU OWN A FUCKING BRITNEY SPEARS ALBUM!!

I find it extremely surprising that any of you guys look up to Ted Nugent. The guy is a right wing gun nut who is incredibly ignorant - and he supports George W. Bush. I really don't think I need to say any more. I support freedom speech as well, but that doesn't mean that what Nugent says has any validity or intelligence. Did any of you guys watch his reality show? I'm sorry to say that I have. The guy is closed-minded and to put it bluntly, he is a complete ass. I'm seriously surprised that my previous comment was flamed. The guy supports Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbuagh. He is also incredibly racist. "Fat hispanic kid"? Jesus H. Christ on a crutch... Do I need to go on? Why is it necessary to call the guy fat or Hispanic? Couldn't he have just said "a guy?" Why was it necessary for him to describe the guy's race or ethnicity? If the guy was white and skinny I really don't think Ted would have described him as such. Regardless of his music, I find it highly offensive that he is being glorifed here. If Hitler was a great musician, would Jambase deem it acceptable to publish an article about his music? Even if it was really good and was "great to fuck to?" Apparently Ted doesn't do drugs. He gets his kicks from killing shit. Much healthier... Ted is the epitome of what I despise in this country. Here is an excerpt that I found while researching this asshole...

Nugent lives near President George W. Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, and said he caught Bush's attention at his private inauguration party in 2000. "When he noticed me, he was surrounded by these huge bankrollers from his campaign. He literally swept past all of them and said, 'Laura! Look who's here! It's Ted!' Then he hugged me and took me by the shoulders. He said, 'Just keep doing what you're doing. Don't think that we don't know what you're up to out here. Stay on course.'"

I am incredibly horrified that Jambase would think it was appropriate to give this poor ignorant fool any kind of attention. I am sincerely appalled that Jambase has sunk to such a level.

Here is Ted's explanation of how he dodged the Vietnam Draft. Keep in mind that this fellow supports the war in Iraq.

"I got 30 days' notice of the physical," Nugent told them. "I ceased cleansing my body. Two weeks before the test I stopped eating food with nutritional value. A week before, I stopped going to the bathroom. I did it in my pants. My pants got crusted up."

A real role model... I expect more of you Jambase. This man is a bastion of hate.

I hear you, snappy, point taken. Like I said, to each his or her own. And nice list, waker. A few of the greatest live ones for me are the Dead Winterland (jazzy Dark Star) and the Great American in SF, It used to be known (bootleg vinyl, I'm showing my age) at the time as "Make Believe Ballroom," they were so tight after recording Blues For Allah. I think it was maybe the first "One from the Vault" recordings. Guitar lovers should check out Pat Martino Live, an amazing recording, as well as Larry Coryell Live at Montreaux. Phish did some really fun stuff on Hampton Comes Alive. And King Rhino, brass balls, man, I have to admire that. I'm trying to think of the lamest thing in my music collection. It used to be fun when all folks had was vinyl- if you went straight to the back of their stack you would find their embarrassments. As long as people line up and pay, Nugent will keep doing it. Hell, I could care less about him and he got my attention- brilliant businees man, I suppose.

Thank you for the article Jambase. I don't agree with most of Ted's views but I respect his desire to be drug-free and his desire to be politically incorrect and speak his mind. In the entertainment industry it has to be hard to swim against the stream politically and it is refreshing to see Ted do it, although he doesn't always say things in the best way possible.

He was an idol to many young guitar players in the 70s and 80s and make positive contributions to music.

Hey liberal jam fans who think you are so enlightened, the comments on this thread should show you how you are just as close minded as the people you criticize as being close minded. The irony.

Since when did becoming a hate monger become cool? What the hell is the matter with you people? Ted Nugent is all about violence and hating others. What's up with that line about shooting Mexicans from atop the Alamo? If you stand up for the guy after he says something like that, then fuck you too. This guy is a royal prick. I don't give a fuck about his music.

I agree with blue1971, well said. Nugent may be outspoken and a complete ass sometimes, but he has done a ton of great charity work and honestly isn't that bad of a guy. A lot of it is an act for publicity which apparently works pretty well. i really enjoy posts from people like hoodoo voodoo, calm down for god's sake. its really not that big a deal, nobody is saying he has to be your role model.

I appreciate the fact that jambase covers a wide range of artist, even artist like Ted Nugent, which Im neither a fan of his music and never agreed with his politics. Im still glad that this article is here for the people who are fans of him. I actually listened to an interview with him on Alex Jones show and kind of enjoyed it, he didnt seem like near as much of a close minded jerk as he usually comes across.

I have to agree that Ted Nugent is little more than a footnote in Rock history (keep in mind that rock history is not music history either). He is an idiot, his music may have inspired thousands of shitty guitar solo's but that is about it. On the other hand I did read Ted's ranting bulls#%t, so it couldn't have been the worst article ever.

I happen to be an avid hunter... This guy give legit hunters a bad name. I hunt so i dont have to support factory farming and horrible meat processing system in the US. I try to do my best to live off the land and harvest my own food. I have a 5 acre organic farm as well. I hunt because i enjoy nature in a way you cant get just hiking. Nugent is violent, sick, and self righteous. He hunts for the thrill of the kill. He probally hunts antlers and not deer. I catch alot of shit from other hunters for the long hair, hemp, and the grateful dead. They worship this guy, and it sucks for someone in-tune like myself. Makes me sick.

Why the thumbs down? All the Nugent fans can't stand the reality of their idol not being important to anything, especially music. Ted is exactly what is wrong with this country (as well as the rest of you who feel the need to censor me). FUCK CENSORSHIP, on jambase and anywhere else (I guess the only thing I agree with Ted on).

P.S. Ted Nugent could not make one of the best live albums ever, dumbest thing I have ever heard. #1 live album ever Thelonius Monk live in Paris. Suck it pussybase!

But his beliefs are where it's at - Let's all wave goodbye to the america that I love because your all a bunch of sheep -BAA BAAA

One thing I would like to say to the Nuge - despite the fact that jer did drugs they probably would have gotten along pretty well - Jerry wasn't the pussy that the rest of his band and most of his fans were - He was an outlaw in the same sense that the Nuge is! Not many people know, or choose to ignore, that Jer was an avid gun collector and shooter. Also, PHILIP LESH he wouldn't be telling young impresionables how to think - he would let them decide on their own, not throwing his hat into OBAMAnations ring.

as an old guy (52) i never ever liked this idiot's music. he uses his fame as a bully pulpit to advance his red neck views. he insults the great gar, a kind, loving thoughtful & intelligent man who could play circle around nugent. i wouldn't piss on nugent if he were on fire!!!

Nuge is classic.....I don't really dig hi smusic all that much but what's wrong with liking guns/hunting and wanting the gov't to stay out of your shit...that is pretty much what he stands for....hippies complain how the gov't sucks so bad but yet they are the first ones who want gov't healthcare and gov't regulation around almost every aspect of our lives except drug use.....who ever said being a hippie gets u more ass than a redneck conservative,,well sorry to say but nuge is a the master when it comes to getting some tail...very well documented....so go hug obama he'll need it in november

This article was perfectly written, I think it is great that Jambase did an article on Ted Nugent and did it well. While I don't really agree with most of his views. I think his main point is that he has a right to say them and in this world of tippie toein around the issues at least Jambase recognized good article potential and wrote the damn thing. The one thing he is right about is the So Cal Coyote Problem, people lock their children and pets up in fear of Coyotes instead of just taking care of them. I never understood that when people talk about them. Also Green Day needs a new Jambase article.

so. cal. has a PEOPLE problem....its a freakin' dessert, of course there's coyotes....and people were locking there kids up away from people long before coyotes.....i'd be way more cautious of people before i worried about coyotes....

this guy is like the gg allin of the wilderness who just happens to be loveable in the eyes of republicans. he is just as immoral and psychotic. lets see him use his massive fucking gun collection that he loves so much in the heart of iraq. fucking coward. if he were drowning i would throw him a cinderblock.

THOFF....so ALL republicans are immoral and psychotic WOW u must be pelosi's wipping boy to believe that garbage,....I guess abe lincoln was immoral and psychotic as well.....so if u have a large gun collection u have to go fight a war???it's like saying b/c I own a car I have to drive in the indy 500......u have to be 15 years old b/c u have no logic and no real thought...sound familiar??? it's call congress!!!

This is kind of what he was getting at..... No offense but liberals are much more guilty of jumping down the other side's throat at the drop of hat. My own personl feelings aside; is it right that a group of people in hollywood have to get together in secret for fear of their livelyhoods based on contrasting political beliefs. Is it fair that someone goes to see a concert and and has some less educated (less than me) muscians prattle on and on about things that have no place there. Now you jump down the nuge's throat because he actually had the courage to tell you what his poltical beliefs are. I am currently in grad school and I'm scared to death to even give people an inkling of who I am going to vote for with the fear of my grades, and my classmates having the same reactions as alot of you guys. Forget the patriot act you people have taken the 1st amendment and in a defacto retroactive manner wiped your ass with it.

Thanks. Oh yeah one last thing....... guy who was endorsed by hamas and that other guy in chicago who wanted to bomb the pentaon in the 70's? or guy who was tortured for his country. Now if you dont mind hamas then well that means you are cool with terror. wow this almost makes me miss the the flame wars

oh yeah and the nuge is a pretty weak guitar player, That superband show he was on, all he did was plug in and play the national anthem a bunch of times, he tried to go play with that kid from the B B king diabetes commericals and the kid just made him his bitch like trey does to pretty much every famous person with whome he plays

I like guns...and I like hippies, too. Hell, I like Ted Nuggent and Jerry Garcia. I like Phish,Panic, and String Cheese (unheard of). Drugs are O.K, but so are people who don't do them. I eat vegatables and raw red meat. But one thing I can't get along with is an unrealist left wing blowhard (like many on this thread) who can't seem to just keep their cake holes shut with their damn politikin all the time. "I hate Ted Nuggent because I'm a liberal...blah blah"
